Remote HMI
Remote HMI is a productivity utility for industrial engineers to monitor and control C-more HMI panels remotely on iOS devices.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
The application removes the need for physical presence at the HMI panel during system testing, saving field engineers travel time and hardware costs.
For Industrial automation engineers and facility operators using C-more HMI hardware.
What does it look like?
Key features
Remote viewing and control of C-more panel screens via Ethernet.
Configurable access accounts stored in the panel project for up to five simultaneous users.
Internal tags to trigger alarms for local operators when remote users connect.
How much does it cost?
The application functions as a free utility to support the sale of proprietary C-more industrial hardware.
Velocity
Dormant developmentopaqueShow more...
Remote HMI has seen no development activity for 551 days. The last release was a minor update focused on local network permissions, and there have been no subsequent feature builds or maintenance patches. The development momentum is currently non-existent, indicating the app has reached a zombie state.

Key takeaways for Remote HMI
Where is it heading?
The outlook for Remote HMI is declining due to a lack of active development. Without a commitment to OS-level compatibility, the application will lose its utility for field engineers, forcing them to seek third-party alternatives for remote panel management.
- The 551-day update gap indicates a maintenance-only posture, which increases the risk of the application breaking during future mobile OS updates.
- User reports of password-entry failure on modern OS versions suggest that the application is already losing compatibility with current mobile hardware.
The SWOT
- Multilevel Logon Security stores access accounts in the panel project, creating configuration-based hardware lock-in
- Modernizing the mobile interface would resolve password-entry friction
Next best moves
Audit password-entry logic because users report failure on modern OS versions → restore core functionality
The counter-intuitive read
The lack of updates is a deliberate hardware-support strategy rather than neglect…
Read the full takeSince the last report: The outlook for Remote HMI has shifted from mixed to declining, as the 551-day update gap has transitioned from a maintenance concern to a functional blocker for password authentication on modern mobile operating systems.
Bottom line
The application serves as a necessary utility for C-more hardware, but the 551-day update gap threatens its viability on modern mobile devices. Addressing password-entry failures would stabilize the existing user base without requiring a full feature overhaul.
